Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will protect you from some effects of the drone and the environment you are flying in. Take the area you will be flying in into consideration when determining which equipement is needed, as most facilities will specify minimum equipment for different areas. This equipment usually includes:

Hard Hat

Eye Protection

Safety Boots

Long sleeve clothing

In an environment which would otherwise require no protective equipment the drone may introduce risks, either directly or indirectly, which must be mitigated with PPE:

Hearing protection, the noise level of the drone is 85dB at 1m distance

Eye protection, as the drone's propellers may displace dust and create projectiles when impacting large particles.

Breathing protection, when flying in dusty environments

Safety gloves, as the drone has some sharp components (e.g. propellers and damaged cage elements)
